One thing I like about this forum is the friendly atmosphere. If you count us, we are few, so we can talk to each other and share personal details of our lives. It is probably an illusion, it all seems to take place in the real world and yet it does not happen here and now, it does not happen in presence, and perhaps at the end of the day we do not know who we are talking to at all. But despite this paradox I am willing to trust this forum to a greater extent than other virtual zones of our interconnected world. Indeed, I am sometimes eager to break through the digital barrier, and try to communicate myself bypassing the space and time of the web.

I’ve heard some very flat fiddles in my time, but this is an excellent, even brave, self portrait. Your eyes are different, one showing seriousness, the other gentleness, both of which are qualities on show in the commentary to this entire thread.

All of the above is so true. I find myself looking for a way to express a double Hugo.
However, this is news to me about fiddles. I shall have to remember to handle them more carefully in the future.

This thread is becoming a warren of praise it seems!
